Thank you the nice thing about the Nikon D40 is it is REALLY user friendly. that was my main criteria when looking for a new camera. I wanted something I could use right out of the box but also something that I could learn and grow with. So all of these pics have basically been on auto mode. I'm not messing with the manual focus yet. still reading the manual and it is so confusing lol.

So for anyone who is intereseted in getting a DSLR but is a beginner I highly recommend the D40. GREAT for beginners. YOu can take it out of the box and take great pics.

it does feel great in my hands though lol. feels so natural. I love this camera.

And I have a great model lol. I swear it looks like she's posing for me sometimes
